What if wealth wasn’t measured by what you accumulate, but by what you’re able to give back? In this episode of Beats Working: Winning the Game of Work, Dan T. Rogers sits down with real estate entrepreneur and social purpose founder Katrina Romatowski. A mom of six and founder of three purpose-driven companies, Katrina is redesigning how homeownership works in neighborhoods many believe are out of reach. From creating housing stability for foster youth to pioneering shared ownership models in Seattle, Katrina’s story is about challenging inherited beliefs, rethinking outdated paradigms, and building businesses that fill your tank instead of draining it. This isn’t just about property development. It’s about developing possibility. Takeaways: Purpose before profit is a long game, but it wins. Katrina structured her brokerage as a social purpose corporation from the start. Stability unlocks agency. Level Up provides housing and mentorship to foster youth aging out of the system. Wealth is having more than enough to give back. Financial, emotional, and relational wealth all count. Density isn’t the goal, livability is. ReSpace designs homes for how people actually thrive.
